We’re hiring an Event Operations Coordinator to manage logistics, scheduling, and operational coordination across multiple active event campaigns.

  • Required Experience & Skills
  • Must-Have Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
  • Previous experience in event coordination, logistics coordination, operations, scheduling, or administrative operations support
  • Strong experience managing multiple moving pieces simultaneously
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
  • Strong organizational and time management abilities
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace (Google Sheets, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Gmail)
  • Ability to work during U.S. Central Standard Time (CST) business hours
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with tight deadlines
  • Nice-to-Have Experience
  • Experience using Sling, TravelPerk, or similar scheduling/travel tools
  • Experience supporting field sales teams or event-based operations
  • Experience tracking operational expenses and budgets
  • Startup or high-growth company experience
  • What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
  • Your day will revolve around keeping operations organized and ensuring events run smoothly from planning to execution.

You will

  • Review upcoming events and confirm logistics

  • Update schedules and manage travel coordination
